48-port Gigabit Ethernet Line Card with Pluggable SFP Modules
The 48-port Gigabit Ethernet line card for the Force10 C-Series
C150 and C300 with pluggable SFP modules support distances
up to 80km over fiber, and pluggable 1000Base-T modules
support distances up to 100m over Cat5 UTP. 100Base-FX SFP
modules support distances up to 2km, providing a flexible
solution for applications spanning the LAN, MAN, and WAN
in mixed fiber/copper and mixed speed installations.
This line card provides industry-leading density of up to
384 line-rate, non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet ports with PoE in a
single chassis. Additionally, the C-Series ASICs and architecture
enables line-rate performance with QoS and Access Control
Lists (ACLs) enabled, jumbo frame support, and simultaneous
L2 switching and IPv4 routing. The intelligence embedded
in the line cards allows localized switching, providing very
low latency.
Key Features
- Full line-rate throughput for Ethernet frames from 64 byte to 9,252 byte
frames on all ports regardless of features enabled
- Pluggable SFP modules providing support for 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX,
1000Base-LX, 1000Base-ZX and 1000Base-T interfaces
- 5 microsecond switching latency under full load for 64 byte frames
- Per-port status and activity LEDs
